This novel had all the publicity it needed and the publishers obviously felt there was nothing to be gained and perhaps something to lose by letting reviewers see it.</p>Mon, 20 Jul 2015 21:52:50 +0000Don Noble75861 at http://apr.org"Go Set a Watchman: A Novel" By Harper Lee"German Rocketeers in the Heart of Dixie: Making Sense of the Nazi Past During the Civil Rights Era"http://apr.org/post/german-rocketeers-heart-dixie-making-sense-nazi-past-during-civil-rights-era
